Error: MED Capabilities LV is not enabled

Hello,

New 5520’s in a stack running 31.1.1.3 patch1-1

I’m trying to add all of the lldp commands I typically run on our previous gen switches, but getting stuck on the error mentioned in the title. Here are the commands I am copying and pasting:

configure lldp port 1:1-48,2:1-48,3:1-48 advertise port-description power-via-mdi

configure lldp port 1:1-48,2:1-48,3:1-48 advertise system-name

configure lldp port 1:1-48,2:1-48,3:1-48 advertise system-capabilities

configure lldp port 1:1-48,2:1-48,3:1-48 advertise management-address

configure lldp port 1:1-48,2:1-48,3:1-48 advertise vendor-specific dot3 mac-phy

configure lldp port 1:1-48,2:1-48,3:1-48 advertise vendor-specific med power-via-mdi
Error: MED Capabilities TLV is not enabled.

I’ve even done the following:

enable lldp ports 1:1-48,2:1-48,3:1-48

Any idea how I can enable MED Capabilities TLV?

EDIT: Cleaned up command format

Hi Rory,

Maybe the sequence order is important.

Here what I hae in my cheat sheet:

'LLDP-MED configure lldp port <port number> advertise vendor-specific med capabilities configure lldp port <port number> advertise vendor-specific dot1 vlan-name vlan <VOIP vlan> configure lldp port <port number> advertise vendor-specific med power-via-mdi configure lldp port <port number> advertise vendor-specific med policy application voice vlan <VOIP vlan> dscp 46 Configure lldp port <port number> advertise vendor-specific dot1 port-protocol-vlan-id vlan <VOIP vlan> enable lldp ports all

@Miguel-Angel RODRIGUEZ-GARCIA Thanks for the quick reply. I arranged the commands differently and it appears it’s only happening after this command:

configure lldp port 1:1-48,2:1-48,3:1-48 advertise vendor-specific med power-via-mdi

The other commands execute fine. One thing I’ve never had to add is that VOIP VLAN command you listed here:

configure lldp port <port number> advertise vendor-specific dot1 vlan-name

Rory,

I’m able to get this on an X435:

Have a look at the following topic replacing “...lldp port advertise...” by “...lldp port <port number> advertise...”:

That’s a great link, indeed! Thank you very much. The one command I was missing initially was the following, which resolved my issue in this new code version. Previously, I had never had to add that on any of our other switches.

configure lldp port all advertise vendor-specific med capabilities

I appreciate the quick help!
